Das Leibniz-Institut Hessische Stiftung Friedens- und Konfliktforschung (HSFK) hat Kerstin von Lingen den Czempiel-Preis für die beste postdoktorale Monografie aus der Friedensforschung verliehen. Weitere Informationen finden Sie in der Pressemitteilung des HSFK. Transnationale Debatten unter Juristen haben das humanitäre Völkerrecht entscheidend geformt. Die Zivilisierung von Kriegsgewalt stand seit der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts im Zentrum und gipfelte im Konzept von "Crimes against Humanity", das im Internationalen Militärtribunal von Nürnberg erstmals zum Tatbestand erhoben wurde. Kerstin von Lingen zeichnet diesen Weg nach - von den frühen völkerrechtlichen Debatten unter Juristen über die Haager Friedenskonferenzen und die Verhandlungen von Versailles nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs. Angesichts immer höherer Opferzahlen und ansteigender Massengewalt gegen Zivilisten wirkte der Zweite Weltkrieg wie ein Katalysator: Das Konzept "Crimes against Humanity" wurde in London in Gremien geschärft, deren Akten für dieses Buch erstmals ausgewertet wurden. "Crimes against Humanity" wurde nach 1945 neben dem Genozid-Vorwurf zum wichtigsten juristischen Werkzeug unserer Zeit, um Massengewalt gegen Zivilisten zu ahnden.

The American presidency has long tested the capacity of the system of checks and balances to constrain executive power, especially in times of war. While scholars have examined presidents starting military conflicts without congressional authorization or infringing on civil liberties in the name of national security, Stuart Streichler focuses on the conduct of hostilities. Using the treatment of war-on-terror detainees under President George W. Bush as a case study, he integrates international humanitarian law into a constitutional analysis of the repercussions of presidential war powers for human rights around the world. Putting President Bush's actions in a wider context, Presidential Accountability in Wartime begins with a historical survey of the laws of war, with particular emphasis on the 1949 Geneva Conventions and the Nuremberg Tribunal. Streichler then reconstructs the decision-making process that led to the president's approval of interrogation methods that violated Geneva's mandate to treat wartime captives humanely. While taking note of various accountability options-from within the executive branch to the International Criminal Court-the book illustrates the challenge in holding presidents personally responsible for violating the laws of war through an in-depth analysis of the actions taken by Congress, the Supreme Court, and the public in response. In doing so, this book not only raises questions about whether international humanitarian law can moderate wartime presidential behavior but also about the character of the presidency and the American constitutional system of government.

Ce livre porte sur les analyses et les enquêtes effectuées tant par des chercheurs en sciences sociales que par des praticiens humanitaires et des défenseurs des droits de l'homme dans des contextes de guerre, de génocide et de crimes de masse. Ici, praticiens et chercheurs se donnent pour but commun l'exploration des logiques qui ont gouverné et gouvernent leurs pratiques. En effet, dans certaines situations, ces catégories d'acteurs interviennent simultanément et en fonction d'objectifs qui conduisent parfois à des coopérations, des rapprochements mais aussi à des affirmations d'hétérogénéité de leurs démarches. A partir de leurs expériences en Syrie, au Rwanda et en République démocratique du Congo, les auteurs traitent de l'un ou plusieurs des thèmes suivants : les déterminants locaux des tueries de masse, les modalités des conduites de secours et leurs effets, les actions des agences multilatérales onusiennes, les activités de la justice pénale internationale et des institutions judiciaires nationales, les engagements des organisations de défense des droits humains...
